New hope for prospect of left minority Government

The group of ‘harder-Left’ TDs comprising People Before Profit, RISE, and three members of the Independents4Change technical group has insisted that a left-focussed minority Government coalition is still possible.

Speaking after a meeting yesterday with Sinn Féin in which “quite a lot was achieved”, PBP’s Richard Boyd Barrett said that his grouping had expressed the view that such a Government “could introduce radical measures quickly… and they are keen as we are to continue to pursue those discussions”.
